I read more this year than last year, and I'm happy about that. I'd still like to make more time to read more, and read more outside of the horror genre a bit more (there's always next year!); I also feel like I need to read more non-fiction (and I think I said that last year, too).

I did try reading a YA novel (Gunpowder Empire), and despite enjoying the author's work in the past, I just had a hard time enjoying it. I also read some series fantasy again this year (Dragonlance: Before the Mask), and struggled. There may have been a time that I enjoyed this kind of fiction, but these days, I'm just not into it. (That's not to say I'm "over" fantasy. My tastes have evolved and changed, and I suppose I just need to find something different the next time I decide to dip back into the fantasy genre.)

I've always known that I watch a lot of movies, and in 2008, I started keeping track of what movies I watched during the year. Bren said I was getting a little OCD as I was getting older, but I think it had more to do with wanting to keep track of what movies I watched for Mail Order Zombie. There may be some truth to the OCD-thing as I also started tracking what books I read and even what magazines I read. (I didn't track magazines after that year.)

Compared to last year, I've watched fewer movies in 2010 (although I read more books - more on that in my next post). I thought I watched more documentaries than I'm seeing here; I also thought I watched my Blu-rays, but since I can't watch a Blu-ray on-the-go the way I can a DVD. I also see a handful more short movies on my list this year (I probably watched more short movies on-line, but I only tracked movies that I actually could hold in my hand in the form of a disc or that could be put onto my iPod - I know streaming is becoming a more widespread form of distribution, but it's certainly my preferred form of movie releasing).
